Comment 78 for bug 282387

I've just tried running b0737bdbd1f6e601eb4984b6f4cb49279190984c with the dont_check_abi patch and it works for me. Could you confirm i've done the right thing here using the following commands to test it:

As user 'fred' in their home directory:
git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-input-evdev
cd xf86-input-evdev
git reset --hard b0737bdbd1f6e601eb4984b6f4cb49279190984c
./autogen --prefix=/usr
make

As root:
invoke-rc.d gdm stop
cp ~fred/xf86-input-evdev/src/.libs/evdev_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/
ldconfig -n /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/
invoke-rc.d hal restart
invoke-rc.d gdm start
